Content Publishing Guidelines
Last Updated: January 2026
Netherlust is a kink-positive community dedicated to exploring adult fantasy within our established story world. We welcome diverse creative voices and support artists’ freedom to create within the boundaries outlined below.
These guidelines apply to all user-generated content submitted to Netherlust, including fan fiction, artwork, and community contributions set in the Netherlust universe.
We DO NOT Accept Content Featuring:
Age & Consent
- Sexual activity involving characters under 18 years of age (including but not limited to explicit sexual discussion, voyeurism, exhibitionism, fantasizing, masturbation, and graphic sexualized descriptions). This is grounds for immediate account termination.
- Any material supporting, encouraging, or defending child abuse and/or child exploitation.
- Artificially aged characters – characters under 18 in canon Netherlust materials who are made “over 18” for fan works.
Violence & Harm
- Sexualized death, “vore”, or “snuff” fiction. Characters may die in stories as part of plot, but death should not be sexually titillating.
- Sexualized maiming, amputation, or permanent physical harm intended as arousal.
- Non-consensual fantasies in which the “victim” receives no pleasure and is seriously or permanently harmed/killed.
Real People & Copyright
- Non-consensual, dubiously consensual, or CNC fantasies involving real people or organizations. Fantasy must remain fictional.
- Works professed to be true about real people in titles, tags, or descriptions.
- Copyrighted material you don’t own or don’t have explicit license to publish.
- Fan fiction based on properties outside the Netherlust universe (this is a Netherlust-specific community).
Hate & Harm
- Works that promote or glorify hate, intolerance, or violence toward any person or group.
- Works that advocate for readers to engage in illegal activity.
Commercial & Promotional
- Advertisements, outside links, or promotions within your work.
- Teasers or excerpts designed to promote offsite content.
- Works that promote real-life (non-fictional) sex work services or prostitution.
AI-Generated Content
- Works generated primarily by AI, LLMs, or automated systems. While Netherlust’s official content uses AI as a creative tool, we require fan submissions to be human-authored. You may use AI for editing assistance, but the creative work must be yours.
Visual Content
- Photographs or video of real people in sexually explicit conduct.
- Explicit photographic nudity (illustrated/drawn artwork is acceptable within content guidelines).
Netherlust-Specific Content
- Bestiality – sexual activity between humans and real-world animals. (Fantasy creatures, faeries, sylphs, transformed characters, and other supernatural beings within the Netherlust universe are allowed.)
- Works that fundamentally contradict established Netherlust world-building without creative justification. We encourage creative interpretation, but works should respect core universe elements (e.g., the portal nature of the club, the four courts structure, established character roles).
What We Celebrate:
- Creative exploration of kink within Netherlust’s thirteen rooms
- Original characters visiting or working at the club
- Stories exploring the politics between Faerie courts
- Perspectives from different supernatural species
- Diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures
- Consensual power exchange, BDSM, and kink exploration
- Dark themes handled with narrative care
- Creative reinterpretations of established characters (within reason)
Content Warnings:
All submissions must include appropriate content warnings for:
- Specific kinks or fetishes featured
- Power dynamics or consent play
- Violence or intense scenes
- Any content that might trigger strong emotional responses
When in doubt, over-warn rather than under-warn.
Canon Compliance:
Fan works don’t need to be strictly canon-compliant, but should demonstrate familiarity with the Netherlust universe. We encourage creative interpretation while respecting the core world structure.
Review & Removal:
We reserve the right to reject or remove any content that violates these guidelines or disrupts the community. If you believe content violates our guidelines, please use the “Report” function.
By submitting work to Netherlust, you agree to these guidelines and confirm all content is your original creation or properly licensed.
